Bournemouth Water customers raise more than £1.7 million for WaterAid after donating £99,700 last year

Bournemouth Water customers have raised more than £1.7 million for WaterAid since 1990 after adding £99,700 in donations last year.

The contribution in 2024 is enough to provide clean water to more than 4,600 people, helping to improve global access to clean water.

WaterAid has been able to work alongside communities around the world to bring clean water to people facing severe challenges.

The support has enabled the charity to make a meaningful difference in regions like Mangochi District, Malawi, where communities are grappling with extreme drought, food insecurity and the devastating aftermath of a cholera outbreak.

WaterAid is partnering with local organisations to bring clean, reliable water to the area.

The project includes a solar-powered water system and eight taps, ensuring a steady supply of water to the local primary school and surrounding communities.

Dani Twelvetree, Bournemouth Water’s WaterAid Co-Chair, said: “We are incredibly proud of the support our customers have provided to WaterAid.

“The positive impact their contributions have made is truly remarkable.

“Access to clean water is essential to health and wellbeing, and our customers are helping to make a lasting difference in communities that need it most.”
